Are you interested in joining a modern practice with a family feel that is located in the mountains of beautiful east Tennessee? Rocky Top Veterinary Hospital is looking to add a third full time veterinarian to our wonderful staff at our well-established small animal practice. We are approximately 90% canine/feline, while the other 10% of our patients are exotics. Exotic animal interest is not a must, but is a nice bonus for those who have interests! Our area offers the comforts of small town living that is just a short drive away from multiple cities (Knoxville, Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, Asheville, Johnson City, etc.) that offer a wide array of activities, outdoor adventures, dining, and entertainment. We are seeking a veterinarian who is skilled and efficient in performing routine small animal surgeries that also enjoys diagnosing and treating medical conditions in companion animals. Our spacious facility and ample in-house diagnostic capabilities and resources provide the right tools to practice medicine at the highest level. We pride ourselves on our excellent patient care, cleanliness and hospital appearance, great customer service, and having the most up to date equipment for quality medicine and surgery. Our ideal candidate is independent, personable, confident, and has well-developed time management and communication skills. New graduates are always welcome!

Please contact practice owner Dr. Matt Quillen at 423-823-2004 or send a resume to rockytopvets@gmail.com. Resumes may also be sent via fax to 423-525-5340. We look forward to hearing about your interest in our practice and the possibility of you joining our Rocky Top family!
